Small webserver that can deliver timezone information for geo coordinates. For example, you can request this resource:
http://localhost:8080/api?lng=52.517932&lat=13.402992
And, the service will respond with a json:
{
"name": "Europe/Berlin",
"id": "CEST",
"offset": 7200
}name is the common name for the timezone. id is the short identifier. offset is the difference in seconds to UTC.
This project based on the new go modules. So you only need go >= 1.11. Change in project folder and call go build to build the binaries or go run main.go to start the application directly.
docker run -p8080:8080 racemap/tz-service
If you want to build the container yourself, change to the project folder and run docker build -t tz-service .. To start the container after build run docker run -p 8080:8080 tz-service.
This project use the work of two awesome projects. evanoberholster/timezoneLookup is go library that find the timezone for a coordinate. This project use the shapefile of this project evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder.
